@webology has me thinking about...

"The mental trick that I think works really well is, you have to expand your personal definition of 'done' to include writing about what you did. If you say, no project of mine is finished until I've told people about it in some way - that's a habit that really helps with getting that additional value out of your projects." - Simon Willison (@simon)

I wish I could smush that "it's not done until you share it" concept right into my head permanently.

@jack @simon I think the trick for me is knowing that there doesn't have to be a conclusion. I did TILs a decade or more ago and never published them here.

With my micro-blog, there is no pressure to have a fully baked piece of writing.

It's down when I stop writing and complete the thought. Conclusion be damned.

Simon Willison

@webology @jack yes! Giving myself permission to just stop writing when I ran out of things to say, without trying to wrap it up in a neat conclusion, massively reduced my number of unfinished drafts
